Chem Commun (Camb). 2006 Aug 28:(32):3405-7. doi: 10.1039/b607597e. Epub 2006 Jul 24.

Abstract

The new zinc compound N-cyclohexyl-2-(cyclohexylamino)troponiminate zinc methyl, [(Cy)2ATI]ZnMe, was synthesized and showed a superior reactivity in the intramolecular hydroamination reaction of non-activated alkenes compared to previously reported homogeneous zinc complexes.
